Nardil ws the first AD that worked for me but you have to understand that was back in when the only other meds were tricyclics which made me feel terrible.
Nardil made me forget I had depression, imagine that. I thought I had found the answer and it didn't make me feel great or positive all the time, just in control of my life with the ability to work and do wellin a general way.The crazy doctor at the time kept trying to take me off of it (they usually only treated you with an AD for a short period of time) and I would keep telling her I needed it to keep me on an even keel. I could feel my mood change if I stopped it. I would get anxious and feel like I was not able handle problems like I could on Nardil. It acted like a buffer against stress and low self confidence.
That is the way all meds should work. Biggest restriction was the food but well worth it to feel "normal". I never thought that the food restrictions were too difficult to follow. I was willing to give up certain foods to have peace of mind. Much more important.
